Mikhail Nikolaevich Glazunov was born in 1921 in Belgorod, at Industrialialnaya street, 12. At the age of 11, when there was the most active period of growth, the famine of 1932-1933 began. The whole family lived very hard, but Misha never complained, despite the constant feeling of hunger, the pain in his swollen from hunger legs, and always tried to somehow comfort and cheer up his little sisters. After graduation, he started working as a turner in a car depot in Belgorod. From 1939 to September-October 1941, Mikhail worked as a turner at the machine and tractor plant in Shchebekino, Belgorod region. In September 1941, he came on foot (40 km) from Shchebekino to Belgorod, to find out how his parents lived and to consult what to do - to be evacuated together with the factory or go to the front. His parents couldn't give him any advice. The country needed soldiers at the front and specialists in the rear. And Mikhail was only 20 years old at that time. He was a young boy - tired, hungry, thin. That choice was very difficult for him. On the same day, Mikhail, without even sleeping in his home, walked back again. His family never saw him again and nothing is known about his fate. After the end of the war, the parents sent a request, hoping to find out something about the fate of their son. The only thing that was found out was that Mikhail in October 1941 volunteered for the Red Army. A domestic boy who could not and did not even like to fight, who had never seen a weapon close, completely untrained, became a warrior in the most difficult, most terrible first months of the war. Branch of service: Army, Air Force (except marine aviation), the Coast guard, the NKVD troops, Border troops."
